see what LMC sells em for. im pretty sure they have em. but i cant find those mirrors to save my life.

 

This is my beast, a '79 F350 w/dana 60 f/r, 300 6cyl w/4spd, a hinged flat bed with a hand pump for now (have an elec over hydraulic pump waiting to be installed when i find a cylinder). I use it to plow, small construction jobs, haul scrap to the junk yard and everything else you can thing of. She doesn't look pretty but gets the job done!

 

hey, im lookin at gettin a truck very similar to yours but it has a 7.3 idi swapped into it. it has a ford flat dump bed on it. even has ford stamped in the sheet metal on the tail end. if i get it, do you want the bed?

 

I wish you were a little bit closer, are you putting a regular bed back on it? I'd love to have the diesel set up in mine too some day!

 

well, i have to get it first, which requires the sale of my 91. but yeah, the plan is for a regular bed to go back on it, or if its a flatbed again, itll be one that i build for it. and as far as closeness, how close are you to quakertown, pa?

 

Ah ok, Im about 4 hours I believe from there!

 

ok. well, im not from there, but i have some friends there that i havent seen in a year and a half, so if i get the truck, ill be sure to make that trip a priority. id give a pretty good deal on the bed too. its 8 feet long, 6 and 1/2 feet wide, has about a one-ton dumpin capacity, has a gooseneck hitch, and like i said, it is original ford equipment. (i dont know if it was original to this truck, but it was somethin offered by ford.) maybe even the plow off of it? 7 and 1/2 foot plow with power lift and angle.

haha. kinda puttin the cart before the horse, here, arent i?

 

Ok, let me know if you end up getting it and pull it apart and well go from there!

 

or i could leave it on, drive to PA, and spend a day with a fellow FTE takin it off.

 

my '76. I built my own flatbed:

The Street Slammer Project - The Bed

 

Ok, sounds good! Let me know how you make you! Nothin like some good garage time working on the trucks!

 

My old 75 f250 made into a f350+I put a 78 front clip on it when a girl hit it on ice.I built the bed myself it has a B&W flatbed kit.

Gotta say i LOVE the alluminum tank, makes the truck look way more muscular.

 

Thank's there is alot more under the hood than appeirs.

Perky, I remember your truck, Instead of the hood opening like a regular one the whole front clip swings up, I'm sure it allows for easy access to that Perkins Diesel.
